Tramadol Is Fun
About 9:30 last night, the migraine in my right eye and ear started. Usually it just stays around the eye, but now it’s taken the ear along for the ride. It wasn’t the worst migraine I’ve had. It wasn’t one of the worst 100 migraines I’ve had. I’ve had migraines so bad that I had to crawl to get anywhere. At least today I could stand up. But it kept going and going and going. Yes, folks — I had the freakin’ Energizer Bunny of migraines.
I did take the usual painkillers — acetominophen & caffeine, an allergy pill (because maybe the ear pain was sinus pressure), cups of tea — and by 1:15 this afternoon I was ready to cut my own head off. Which, I guess in a way, I did.
I Asked Mom For A Tramadol
Now, my Mom has major chronic pains due to arthritis, fibromyalgia and spinal stenosis. This is what I have to look forward to. So, she has a nice cornocopia of painkillers. I was depserate enough to beg for a tramadol (because I liked the name. I felt like I was in trauma. Seemed appropriate).
Now Big Obligatory Warning — folks, never take drugs you aren’t prescribed. Something bad could still happen to me. Right now, I feel as if the air molecules around my body have never been more comfortable. I mean, look at me — I’m blogging and there is no known cure.
What Is Tramadol?
Tramadol is the active ingredient in Ultram but I believe is also sold as a generic (it’s hard for me to tell right now). It’s an opiod and so let’s party. Also, keep the stuff under lock and key because people like to steal it.
(THUD).

Tramadol is great fun! At first… It lost its punch for me the 5th time or so, as does everything else.

While it is a drug that can help with pain it is important to remember that tramadol can lead to addiction. I am glad that you included your disclaimer.
